Everlast is also an original member of original New Jersey kid Ice T’s Rhyme Syndicate and likely trekked West with him from the outset. House of Pain, however, was founded and based in L.A.; thus the DJ Muggs connection.

[1] The only Boston-based rapper I can think of is Suzyn Waldman.

House of Pain from L.A.? I thought they were NY based. Couple dudes off the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, no?

My brother’s wife actually grew up with him and their families knew each other fairly well; haven’t touched based with her yet, but I’m willing to bet she’s a bit shaken by it as anyone would be if a friend from childhood were to pass. I suppose it’s different since he made such an impression in the Hip Hop and Jazz worlds, but if it were me, I’d be paying respects to a friend.

Funny thing, most of the reports describe Guru as a Boston rapper… yeah, he grew up around Boston (Roxbury), but he claimed Brooklyn early on as his home, and to be honest his career took off when he got there, which is something I’ve thought about for quite sometime seriously as I’m about to move (somewhere) this month. The only Boston-based rappers I can think of were the Almighty RSO (who have an “interesting” background)… and I dunno, House of Pain? (nope, L.A.) Just a media quibble.
